I agree not every report is accurate; even some on a message board miss the mark.
There was actually a guy on the Mothership that suggested Bodine's arms were too short to snap the ball.
Right. So why even post it?
Does it make him weaker? No. But he's not going up against ACC DTs he can out muscle and get by with his bad form. He's facing longer and stronger defenders.
The competition is stronger.
Everyone is wrong eventually.
I never said he couldn't get better. It'd just be an uphill battle. I don't see why people (fred and cincy) got so mad I suggested it might be hard for him to get better but not that it was impossible or he should be cut, despite what cincy thinks I said.
I'm in favor of getting the 5 best OL on the field. Whether it includes Bodine or not, I do not care. As long as it is the best lineup we could produce.
